Sort all events in iphoto9

Hi,
I have around 100+ events with thousands of pictures and would like to sort them. I would like to just have 20-30 events with the best pics from the many. Dump all the other pics in a single big event. How do I do this? I am not able to duplicate pics among events. Please let me know the best way to organize to import to Windows too. Btw, when I import to Windows, all the data on the photo, I mean event names, etc are not retained. How do I work around this?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the inputs. But this is what I would like to do. Re-arrange the events
Generally the best way to operate is to leave events as the default simple organization and do your real organizing using albums, folders and keywords
and delete all unnecessary pictures (have 10,000+ pics)... thus organize events with few of the best pics.
Star ratings are the quickest and easiest way to select your best photos - you can delete low quality photos or hide them
I have backed up my system using TM. So, if I backup again, will the backup re-write everything in iphoto on my EHD?
Time Machine does a continual (hourly) backup and at anytime you can go back to any desired date/time - TM does not overwrite anything until it runs out of space and then starts eliminating the oldest information
Sorry for being so confusing... Aim is to have all these 10,000+ pics on my EHD and the best few pics (around 200-300) on my system... how I do achieve this?
I have no idea what you mean - do you have two iPhoto libraries that have different numbers of photos?
2. About windows : If I connect my EHD to windows, this is what happens. All the package contents of iphoto are displayed.
As noted above iPhoto has NO cross platform capabilities - you can not use it in any way form windows except to export photos and use the exported ones - And the iPhoto library MUST be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - the PC can not read this format unless you have some special software so if you can use your EHD on both systems you probably are going to have problems with iPhoto on the Mac
The organization is lost. How do I copy the photos the same way they are organized in mac to windows?
As noted by TD - export them
I mean, if I have events named as A, B, C, and few albums as X,Y,Z.. how do I get the same organized set in windows?
Export each event into a folder with the event name

  • Iphoto recent upgrade - all Events gone. Photos there, sorted only by date. No events

    Since the recent upgrade, the new iPhoto has eliminated all Events. The photos are there (I think they all are, but not sure) but there are no events, the photos are all just sorted by date (no titles/events). I had just finished organizing all Events days before the upgrade.
    Not happy with this upgrade.

    KEY WORDS: "until it's resolved"
    Rest assured, the new Photos lack of ability to automatically add new photos as "Events" will be resolved in much the same way that many unwanted, unneeded, and for some users, workflow-crippling changes to Apple operating systems and related software are ever resolved:
    1. Apple will do nothing. If few people complain through the proper channels via Feedback, the product will remain as is, and users will either eventually adapt to the new organizing schemes, or will find and use another product that better fit our ways of thinking, manipulating, and organizing our digital images, all shaped by our existing libraries of images that were in iPhoto.
    -OR-
    2. If enough authentic and specific complaints (in the low millions, at least) are sent promptly and directly to Apple via Feedback, and if the complaints are precise and persistent, and continue relentlessly over a period of years, then some similar capability MIGHT be added later, in some future update, in a couple of years.  (Think OS X 10.13.1, "Ellis Island" or whatever geographic icon that future iteration might be named after. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to import their digital images directly into "Events" once again…)
    (There are of course many other possible scenarios, none of which involve returning iPhoto to the marketplace, nor "fixing" Photos to be like iPhoto was.)
    Not complaining*, simply explaining.
    *Because registering outrage and frustration by complaining here in Apple Support Communities does absolutely nothing to ever resolve any issue with Apple. This is a only a user community that Apple allows to exist at it's pleasure. Apple does not officially monitor or ever officially respond to feedback here, and the moderators do not tolerate rants.

  • Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

    i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events.  I would like to delete all events with the same title.  I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually.  These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
    I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
    this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well. 
    Please help!

    If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

  • How to delete all events from iCal?

    Is it possible to select and delete all events from iCal? Or is it simpler to delete the calendar itself? Thanks!

    Sorted now!
    To clarify for people like me: type "." in the search bar
    Then click on the first item in the results pane
    Go to the other end of the list, hold down shift, and click the LAST item
    They should all be highlighted now
    Then use Edit/Delete
    NB it may take a couple of mins (or ten!) for the items to disappear from your view, particularly if syncing with MobileMe.

  • Problems with iPhoto sort of events.

    In PC talk, I often nest folders within folders to better differentiate my images.  The lowest level of folder becomes an iPhoto event.  After loading into iPhoto, a sort of events includes all events independent of the next layer of folders not the events in the first folder then the events in the second folder.
    How can I get iPhoto to pay attention to this nesting of folders within folders?

    Create "folders" via the File ➙ New Folder menu.  Folders can contain other folders, albums, slideshows, books, cards, etc.  Albums can only contain photos.  Therefore you can generate something like this:

  • No Way Of Sorting "All Projects" view

    Hi,
    I've noticed something. When you're in All Projects view in Aperture 2, with the tiles similar to the Events view in iPhoto '08, there appears to be NO way of sorting the Projects. In iPhoto, you can sort the Events by name, or date taken, ascending or descending and even manually arrange them. But in Aperture, the Pro app, there are absolutely no options. Your Projects are sorted by date, oldest at the top, newest at the bottom.
    Am I missing something or have Apple really given their Pro app fewer options than iPhoto?

    It's funny when "consumer" features you take for granted (in iPhoto) aren't available in the pro apps (Aperture). There are quite a few things actually that iPhoto seems to do better than Aperture. Fortunately, both apps are made by the same company, so Aperture can freely copy features from iPhoto whenever it wants.

  • Sorting of Events/Faces

    Hi All,
    Here is my problem. I have all my events and faces synced to my iPhone (it's a replacement).
    On my old iPhone when I went into photos the faces where listed after all the events. It now seems to be the other way round. This is mightly frustrating and has made me chose to remove all the faces from my iPhone (which isn't something I want to do)
    Is there anyway to control the sorting option of this? I would like all the faces to be listed after my events, as I sort all my events by month taken, so my most recent pictures are always as the top of my photo list. I don't want to have to scroll through over 100 faces (yes I know... it's alot. I have almost 10,000 images on the iphone now!) to get to my events.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,
    James

  • How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made

    How can I make one list of all events I have in over 30 libraries I made?

    The only way I know of is to take a screenshot of the Photo mode with the View ➙ Show Event Titles selected.  That will give you a list of sorts.  Might take more than one screenshot per library.

  • Event structure doesn't handle all events from external DLL source

    Hi!
    I use a DLL, wich handles an USB CAN transceiver device, and generates LabVIEW user events with extcode.h and PostLVUserEvent() function.
    In my vi I use an event case structure to handle theese external events. The problem is, that if the events come too frequently, then it cannot handle all events.
    The vi contains a couple of parallel while loops which process the incoming data from the external event.
    In another application I use the same architecture, and that works fine. This one is more complex.
    Do you think I have reached the limits of the program? Or what else can be the problem?
    I have tried to use a queue in the  event structure, it helped a little, but yet, not all the events are handled. My external DLL sends all event, so the problem is not there.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Wasz,
    Thanks for the post and I hope your well.
    It is not possible for the event structure to miss events - it simply queues them up. To keep the event structure 'in time' with the code you must ensure the code to execute in each event is minimal to allow the event structure to handle the next event. 
    Please see this two links:
    event structure buffering: leading to,
    How to avoid built-up for "cursor move" events? : where somone is trying to avoid handling all events.
    What sort of events are not being handled? Could it be an issue your events are not configured correctly? Maybe if you could produce a small example in LabVIEW code, so we can just test the event structure configuration... someone working around the external dll call - which you seem sure is working correctly.  
    In terms of queuing to process the events in other loops is certainly an option to speed up the event structure. To do this, use a produce/consumer design pattern.
    hope this helps,
    Kind Regards

  • Latest calendar update not sync all events???

    I just tonight had an update appear on my iPhone for Calendar and like all apps, I updated.  Immediately I got a notice that my calendar was set to remove old items past a month (which I NEVER set - my calendar is always syncing with my home and offices calendars (I have over a dozen) and I NEVER want anything removed.  The message on the screen said to go change this in Settings to "all Events" and then reboot the phone.  I did this.
    Now all my calendar events are gone!  I am terrified this will wipe my events on my computers at home and work that this was syncing to.  Anyone know what the heck is going on?
    I have not yet upgraded to iOS 8 because I wait until all these sorts of bugs are worked out, but when the system tells me I should update an App I believe it…..

    Same issue here. Fortunately the only thing not perfect for me...

  • Can I switch calendars (Ex. "night shift" to "day shift" cal) with a repeating event, but ONLY for that one event??  It asks "for all events or only this event" if i change the time.  But it changes ALL events when i try and switch calendars.  Any help??

    I have 2 calendars set up for my work schedule, a "night shift" and "day shift" calendar.  I've set up repeating events fro Fri/Sat/Sun 3-11pm "night shifts" and Mon/Tues 7am-3pm "day shifts".  But lets say for example that I swap shifts and instead of working nights on Saturday like I normally would, I am now working days.  I want to change that in my calendar.  When I go to change the event, if i change the TIME it asks if i want to change all event or ONLY this event.  no problem....just this single event.  but when i go to change the event from the "night shift" calendar to the "day shift" calendar, it changes ALL the repeating events, and not just that one single event.   can anyone help with this???  am i doing something wrong?  is there a way to do this or not with the new iCal program???  i used to do this and never had any problems.    Thank you!

    You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
    what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
    The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
    Exactly what you you trying to do?

  • ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

    iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
    I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
    PLEASE HELP.   

    Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
    Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
    Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

  • Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events

    Is there a way to create a new Calendar that replicates all events from a subscribed calendar ? Mobile Me is great but my most important Calendar is technically in the "Subscriptions" category so it doesn't get pushed to me iPhone. I want to create a new Calendar and have it just automatically copy all the events from the subscribed calendar and keep up to date with that one.

    lincolnroadjeff,
    I subscribed to a Holiday calendar that I also wanted to be published, and the only workaround that I found was to export the calendar, delete the subscription, and then import the calendar.
    This obviously will only work with a subscription that is not often updated/subject to change.
